Total Weapon Count

Hey all!

I was just looking at my armory and I thought of something that could help out a little for people with major armies. :D

In the area where it gives you your weapons, have a "Total Offensive Weapons" and "Total Defensive Weapons".

That way, at a glance, you can make sure that you have enough weapons for your armies by comparing your army number to the total offensive weapon number.

I use a calculator right now to add up all the weapons and compare it against my units. :)

Just a thought.

Seems kind of pointless, as 99.9% of people have 1 top attacking/defensive weapon per attacking/defensive unit. Lesser weapons are either not used, or used as punitive protective measures for the top weapons.

Those with major armies that you speak of would most likely have the strongest weapon and no lesser weapons. I haven't purchased any other weapon besides the strongest for at least the past year.

This 'total wepaons' would only really be useful to those smaller accounts that may not be able to afford to buy the big strong weapons all the time.

Good point cause I'm not one of the stronger accounts and I've got more of the lower weapons in my list still. :)

But how what's the ratio of top players to lower players? I think there are more lower players still to maybe make a feature like that worth it. :)


But I thought I'd mention it. :D

I didn't say it was the ratio - what I am saying is that brand new accounts grow at such a rate these days that there is no reason why anyone should have to be restricted to lesser weapons. I can use myself as an example - I restarted with my current (new) game account in September, and after a couple of days only had top weapons.

Oh.

I didn't know it was that fast. Then never mind then. :)
